After Obasanjo endorsed Obi last month, the APC Presidential Campaign Council spokesman, Mr Bayo Onanuga, said nobody in Ogun could rely on Obasanjo to become governor or councillor.
In a statement, Onanuga said:
“From our records, President Obasanjo has not successfully made anyone win an election in Nigeria since then.
“Not even in Ogun State can anyone rely on his support or endorsement to become a governor or councillor.
“We pity Peter Obi as we are confident that Chief Obasanjo cannot win his polling unit and ward in Abeokuta for Obi in the coming Presidential election on 25 February 2023.”
